Here's a car maker that’s on a roll! It’s one of the most expensive new models built in the UK, but the Rolls-Royce Coupé has been such a hit, the entire production quota for the year has been sold in a week.
The firm has announced that 200 examples of its £275,000 two-door have now been ordered, only seven days after it officially went on sale. That means no further cars will be available before 2009.
It’s great news for the British- based company, which is owned by BMW and has its HQ in Goodwood, West Sussex. Production of the newcomer is due to start in the summer. Powered by a 6.75-litre V8 engine, the model is barely changed from the 101EX concept car, and even offers striking details such as slot-shaped headlamps and a brushed alloy bonnet. Inside, there’s an LED light-filled roof headlining.
